Founded in 1888, the founder and primary stockholder was John Willis Morrow. Mr. Morrow was best known for his industrial endeavors to include the Morrow bicycle brake he invented and had built in Elmira, and the Willys Overland Jeep, as a business associate of John Willys North.

PEACO (Pennsylvania’s Elmira Arms Company) specializes in vintage antique and contemporary arms of quality in the collector/investor classification, although more modern firearms are also offered from our store location. Most of the inventory is pre-owned, and covers a cross-section of firearms industry products.

The store, on Route 14 in Fassett (Gillett, PA mailing address), is open to the public three days a week, although appointments can and will be made for serious customers at any reasonable time. We are open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 until 6:00 PM, and Saturdays from 10:00AM until 5:00 PM. During June, July and August our Saturday hours are from 9:00 AM until 3:00 PM.

Those wishing to visit us regarding the purchase, trade or selling of quality firearms should call ahead to avoid missing us on weekends in the event a number of those pieces are at Trade Shows where many of them are dealt and procured. The store is a two hour drive from Rochester or Syracuse, NY, and Scranton-Wilkes Barre, PA. It is a three hour drive from Buffalo and Albany, NY, and Harrisburg, PA, and four to five hours from New York City, Cleveland, Pittsburg and Philadelphia.

We commenced moving to the Gillett, Pennsylvania area in June-July 2007, a lengthy and complicated process which we barely finished nearly a year later. We have held a Pennsylvania FFL and State License under the PEACO name for more than 20 years in addition to our New York licenses. We elected to avail ourselves of the more “user friendly” Pennsylvania location to avoid the self-serving activities of politicians, government officials and law enforcement personnel who favor criminals more than the victims, making it all but impossible for a successful business of our kind to operate in New York State.

PEACO (Pennsylvania’s Elmira Arms Company) accepts MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American Express for the conduct of sales transactions. A handling and shipping charge is in addition to the item cost for long guns purchased requiring shipping. In addition, special packaging requirements to protect your purchase increase the base cost of the item by $35.00, except for special insurance and delivery requests, or shipping to outside of the lower forty-eight States. Hand gun purchases are shipped through the U.S. Postal Service at $20.00 in the lower forty-eight unless special insurance or delivery is requested.

A VALID FFL OR C&R LICENSE IS REQUIRED TO SHIP FIREARMS

Please look over our partial inventory list of quality arms. Our prices are very competitive for the quality of what we’re selling, we’ll consider trades, and will deal to all points of reason. All items are guaranteed to be as represented either by our listing and/or necessary phone conversation prior to sale and shipping. We stand behind everything we sell – not in front of it, and value our reputation for taking care of our most important assets --- our name and our customers. Thank you for your interest, and to our loyal customers, we thank you for your business.

The Hartman brothers (Rich and Ron), and our new Store manager, Kevin Rogers.
